I've opened this bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324843

For the inclusion of the orange icon for RSS extension, please comment
on it, if it's useful or not..

About the toolbar buttons, maybe it's a good idea, can someone open a
bug report about those if it's considered useful ?
(Can epiphany extensions have  toolbar button ?)

I think a separate app talking through dbus to epiphany (like the
current liferea/straw/blam/epiphany integration) is a perfect model for
my taste. I know some people prefer to have the rss viewer directly in
the browser or the email viewer. Maybe the "one program, one function"
is more in the gnome way of things ?
